Did Jeremy Renner die? The bizarre viral meme, answered
Don’t worry, everyone, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief because everyone’s favorite archer and snowblower accident survivor, Jeremy Renner, is alive and well.
Recommended VideosA Twitter user posted a doctored headline from The Guardian saying that Renner had died in a “freak escalator accident.” That gruesome mental image, along with the fact that Renner is one of our most beloved celebrities, set the online world on fire.
The hashtag #RIPJeremyRenner started trending rapidly, with some people just piling in on the hoax. Here’s the original tweet:
Others followed suit in either wishing him condolences or playing off the fact he was in heaven now.
Here he is with a bevy of other deceased celebrities.

are you trying to pretend he isnt dead? a family is grieving and you are pretending that Jeremy Renner is still with us? we are all hurting but we need to face up to the fact that he's gone #RIPJeremyRenner https://t.co/KDSlHkOznZ
— izzy in the water 🦋 (@shrimpfriedizzy) June 23, 2023For those still not convinced, you can rest easy knowing that Renner posted from his Instagram account just a few hours ago from Tahoe.
This is of course not the first time we’ve had to deal with a Jeremy Renner death hoax. Back in 2017, he was forced to post following persistent rumors that he had passed away.
Those rumors also happened after Renner was involved in a snow-plowing accident while trying to help a neighbor. The only thing that is news is the fact that you can’t keep him down! If anything, this hoax is a reminder that Renner is a treasure and should live a long and healthy rest of his life.
